I'm in the pilot phase of replacing FCS on our workstations, servers with SCEP 2012.

The FCS client was uninstalled as soon as the SCEP 2012 client appeared, SCEP Definitions are updated, but I'm getting prompted in the Software Center for http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2508824.

Why would I even need (be offered) this if FCS is not on the machine? If I try to install it it fails.

EDIT: am I right in assuming Client Update for Microsoft Forefront Client Security (1.0.1736.0) is not needed if SCEP is being used and I can just remove it from my Software Updates Group?

I just deployed a new Windows 7 machine, that had no previous instalation of FCS (or any other AV for that matter) deployed SCEP and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2508824 still wants to install, but also fails.

Why would this patch be even installing if FCS was never installed on a machine?

Yes, I know this is an old post, but Im trying to clean them up. Did you solve this problem, if so what was the solution?
